If we're being honest with ourselves, learning to ride, back in the day, bordered on a traumatic event. The crashes, oh the crashes. These days, however, kids have it easy with awesome little bikes like our Girl's Hotwalk.

With no pedals or gears, it's designed to help your little princess find her balance by making it as easy as possible to put her feet down. In fact, scooting around with her feet is how the bike moves (outside of gravity), so she'll get used to the feeling of riding without much of the risk.

Even better for you, there isn't much that can break should the bike hit the deck on the pump track, so there's less maintenance then with a "traditional" bike. That's right, you get parental hero status, and they have the time of their lives while learning to ride. Win-win.

- Durable and tough, the A1 Premium Aluminum walking frame is designed specifically for little ones to scoot around safely.- The 12-inch alloy wheels are not only light, but durable enough to take plenty of abuse.- The Rhythm Lite Sport tires are heavy-duty, and allow your little princess to scoot around on- and off-road.

This bike is awesome! We bought this when my son was 1 1/2...little young but my husband is a cyclist and couldn't wait to buy my son's first bike. Just recently at 2 1/2 he finally wanted to ride it and he learned to balance in TWO DAYS, no joke. He has a bike with training wheels too so we took them off and he rode away like it was so big deal since he learned how to balance on his Specialized. He prefers to ride this bike and we get comments everywhere we go since he is so young and riding already. We were recently at the Tour of CA and the pro riders were even in awe of him and patting his head. My husband is SO proud. We love this bike!!

My only regret is that we didn't get this bike for our daughter sooner! We gave it to her for her 4th birthday in January. She quickly mastered it once she got over the concern that it was different from bikes with training wheels. Once she could easily coast a few hundred feet and showed interest, we went shopping for a new bike. We took the training wheels off the new bike the moment we got it home. By the end of day 2, at 4.5 yo, she can ride her new bike, no training wheels, up and down the street, she can turn around and start/stop without falling (mostly). We can't wait to get one for our son in a year or two!
